AriaIt was official I had to get out. Of course I had known that from the beginning , from the very second that asshole had stepped in front of me but what had just happened , or had almost just happened just hammered the thought home. I had to find a way out.Because Dante was right. I wanted him. It was weird and confusing and I kind of hated myself for it but I did. And there was no denying it. That all by itself was dangerous. He worked for one of my families enemies although my brother seemed hell bent on selling me to said family to make some kind of alliance but even worse than that. I was - I rolled my eyes as I stared at the ceiling- betrothed to his boss. If anyone found out we would both be killed. Men in this world were allowed to do what they wanted or who they wanted but women? Nope, we had to remain chaste and dedicated to the men who ruled our worlds.Again I rolled my eyes. I’d never been any of those things. Not ever. My brothers had been like my father, hard and

AriaHe had promised to get me out. But that had been three days ago and I hadn’t seen him since. I spent my days alone, because I didn’t count having my meals with an old man who looked more dead than alive. And I spent my nights restlessly tossing and turning in bed. Half of my thoughts on escape and the other half on him.Fucking Dante. Why couldn’t I get him out of my head. I hated his smug too handsome face more than I had ever hated anyone else. But I couldn’t deny he was right. I wanted him on some primal level.He had even said he cared for me. So why wasn’t he coming to make sure I was ok? Unless-An icy dread flowed across my body, causing the hairs on my arms to stand on end. I rubbed at them nervously. What if something had happened to him? What if he was wrong and there were cameras in here and someone had seen and heard us together.The things he had said to me would be a dearth penalty for him.If he had for himself killed then I would never forgive him because without

Dante“You called?” I drawled, and to any one who looked at me I knew I would look casual and indifferent. Inside I was on fire though. Watching her through the cameras these last few days had been torture but watching her tonight as she dragged all that silk up her delectable body and touched herself was too much.I’d been powerless not to go to her. Especially when she had mouthed my name and I knew it was me she was imagining between her slender thighs.“I-“ she tried to cover herself with the bed clothes and stopped her eyes on me like she realised it was too late to act coy now. “What are you doing here in the middle of the night Dante?” Her voice was challenging and I couldn’t help but grin. God she was a fire ball. I loved that about her. If she had been any normal mafia princess she would have bored me to distraction. As it was she was perfect for me.A woman who challenged me at every step.“Don’t let me-“ I waved a hand towards her. “Stop you when you are so close.”She did

AriaHe was gone before I woke up but then I expected that. It wasn’t like we could cuddle and wake up together. What we were doing could get us both killed. Well maybe not me unless they wanted to go to war with my family but him.They would definitely kill him. Probably torture him as well. And as much as I hated to admit it. I didn’t want that to happen. He might be an asshole but he was nice to me.Laying back in bed, I let my hands drift down to my thighs. The sticky mess we had made together had dried on them. But instead of being grossed out I found myself smiling. Yeah he was nice to me… very very nice and having some one like him here made the stay , could I call it a stay or was it an imprisonment, more palatable.Enjoyable even.There was just something about him, an attraction between us that had started the second we had met. I might dislike him for the most past but I didn’t hate what he did to me.As sick as that sounded, I couldn’t deny it. But it kind of tracked, I w
